Speech Title and Abstract
Towards a Greener Future for Facilities
Semiconductor manufacturing holds significant influence in various top global technology applications and faces environmental and sustainable development challenges. Companies need to adopt strategic sustainable development approaches, utilizing cutting-edge technology throughout the semiconductor manufacturing plant lifecycle (design, construction, and operational management). For instance, in designing and constructing semiconductor infrastructure, the use of AI-integrated 3D digital models and integrated simulations for project planning (4D) and project cost (5D) can minimize errors and accelerate project completion, ensuring on-time and on-budget implementation of large projects. During the construction and delivery phase, digital cloud and mobile applications can enable efficient management, including team collaboration, real-time process coverage, and comprehensive data storage throughout the construction process.
Real-time business intelligence analytics significantly reduce construction risks, laying a solid foundation for on-time, high-quality, and high-volume completion of large capital projects. In the operational phase, intelligent technologies optimize energy usage, predict maintenance, and enhance overall efficiency. IoT sensors and AI algorithms enable real-time equipment monitoring, reducing downtime risks and duration. Digital twins and advanced analytics optimize operational processes, ensuring consistent efficiency. They can also identify energy efficiency optimization space and predict different carbon reduction and carbon-neutral scenarios, responding promptly.
By utilizing a centralized unified operations intelligence center, knowledge sharing and control are promoted, enhancing security and awareness, and reducing factory downtime. This comprehensive digital-cloud platform throughout the construction cycle, with globally advanced management concepts, will help outstanding semiconductor companies navigate the competitive industry, ensuring long-term sustainable development. This integrated technology throughout the design, construction, and operational lifecycle allows semiconductor companies to accurately audit and manage Scope 1-3 data, ensuring that business operations align with sustainable development pathways, optimizing environmental management, operational efficiency, and ensuring sustainable development possibilities.
